lyrics

If you ask me where I’m going
I’ll only tell you where I’ve been
Passing time and neon signs
And highways that know me like a friend

The burden gets so heavy
In a war with wanderlust
One day I’ll lay my sword down
And leave it in the dust

I’m in the kitchen, doing dishes
Picking out a record to play
But if you ask me what I’m thinking
I’ll tell you I’d give anything to stay

The burden gets so heavy
When the gold begins to rust
One day I’ll lay my sword down
And leave it in the dust

I got my armor, got my keys
I got everything I need
No lights left on, no long goodbyes
Just the road and a million broken lines

So there you have it, a new beginning
Is always one suitcase away
For me the leaving is just like breathing
Until the price is more than I can pay

The burden gets so heavy
With dreams that you can’t trust
One day I’ll lay my sword down
And leave it in the dust
One day I’ll lay my sword down, and leave it in the dust
